I have been a teacher for over 20 years. I started in seventh grade English and social studies in the Somerville Public Schools for a few years, then was moved to a third grade for one year, then back up to 6th grade reading. I took time off to stay home with my own kids, and worked part-time (at night) for 9 years as an adjunct professor in a community college.  I returned to full time public middle school about 12 years ago.  First, I got my certification to become an administrator, and then worked as a part-time vice principal.  After that, I worked as a teacher in the Weston Public Schools in grades 6 & 7.  When a job in Stow opened up, I jumped at the chance to work here!  I started here in 2015, as a 7th grade English teacher, and moved to 6th grade social studies in 2019. I am happy to say that I have my dream job!

I am also the co-advisor to the Hale GSA, and director of the Hale Drama shows.  Besides my job and my family, theater, music, and dance are my passions- I've performed in 60 or so productions, and have directed so many shows, I've lost count. 🎭 I have my B.A. from Framingham State University, my MEd from Lesley University, and my EdS from UMass Lowell.
